Today, would you build a scraper with current LLMs that randomly hallucinate? I wouldn't.

The idea of a LLM powered scraper adapting the selectors every time the website owner updates it, it's pretty cool.

On top of that, rooted devices are denied access to it, which means Google is now gatekeeping a "carrier" service on top of that even more.
Sure, but that can happen at night with minimal disruption to traffic as it takes only the time to move it, not the time to disassemble, move, and re-assemble.
That's still ~twice as expensive as the items I linked to below, and that's at clearance prices.

A good deal on a luxury item still gets you a luxury item.

And if we want to compare Walmart to Walmart, this thing currently runs for $359 and has 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and a CPU that benchmarks slightly faster than the M2:

Dear Apple, please stop focusing on thinner. At this point you're selling high-end breakables. To quote Katherine the Great, Huzzah!
How do you handle the context window limit? If you push the entire Dom to the LLM it will exceed the context window by far in most cases, isn't it?

At Qualcomm SoC launch, OSS Linux can't possibly compete with the deep pockets of optimized-shenanigan Windows "drivers" or vertically integrated macOS on Apple Silicon.

But the incumbent landscape of Arm laptops for Linux is so desolate, that it can only be improved by the arrival of multiple Arm devices from Tier 1 PC OEMs based on a single SoC family, with skeletal support in mainline Linux. In time, as with Asahi reverse engineering of Apple firmware interfaces, we can have mainline Linux support and multiple Linux distros on enterprise Arm laptops.

One risk for MS/Asus/HP/Dell/Lenovo devices based on Qualcomm Nuvia/Oryon/EliteX is that Qualcomm + Arm licensing fees could push device pricing into "premium" territory. The affordable Apple Macbook Air, including used M1 devices, will provide price and performance competition. If enterprises buy Nuvia laptops in volume, then Linux will have a used Arm laptop market in 2-3 years.

So.. your test case might be feasible after a year or two of Linux development and optimization. Until then, WSL2 on Windows 11 could be a fallback. For iPad Pro users desperate for portable Linux/BSD VM development with long battery life, Qualcomm-based Arm laptops bring much needed competition to Apple Silicon. If Nuvia devices can run multiple OSS operating systems, it's already a win for users, making possible the Apple-impossible. Ongoing performance improvements will be a bonus.

Better to lobotomize the entire c-suite into servitors for tech heresy.
IIRC SSD manufacturers are likely to store a mapping table of LBAs (logical block addresses) to PBAs (physical block addresses) in the DRAM or Host Memory Buffer.

Some calculation like:

total storage size / page size per LBA (512B or 4KiB usually) * mapping data structure size
in that situation you would still be beholden to the owners collective, and depending on the circumstances and the people, that can be better or worse.
How's the Pipeline? Do you pass all the html to the LLM? Isn't the context window a problem?
I've opened some issues over the years with Pandas on the transition to Arrow dtypes. They are generally very nice but even today I have many workaround patches in our codebase to avoid bugs (e.g. fillna and dropna working as expected).

This PDEP doesn't discuss nullable types at all (i.e. what is currently Float32 instead of float32), which is worth mentioning (though support is pretty good now in Pandas). If any of the core developers reads this, can I suggest `float32?` instead of `Float32`? I think it's more obvious what is intended with the question mark than with capitalization.
Again, depends on the volume of the scraping and the value of the data within it. Even 3.5 can be cost effective for certain workflows and data value.
Ask HN: Is anyone running Mathematica/Wolfram Language in production?
I’ve been a huge fan of Mathematica as a tool for more than twenty years now, using it mostly for prototyping and analysis in notebooks. I’d love to be able to use it as part of a backend for a web app, but it’s unclear if this is even possible given Wolfram’s licensing restrictions. Has anyone here gone down that rabbit hole, or did you end up reimplementing things in an open language?

My daughter stopped reading when her school forced an ipad on us with no way for us to administer our own screen time controls. Now I never know if she's doing homework or trapped down some YouTube shorts rabbit hole.
Yeah I think that’s what I mean by “understand data structures and algorithms”. Or, I think your description is exactly what a useful working understanding looks like. You should know broadly what’s out there so if a problem comes up, you know where to look. (Would a hash table help? A priority queue? etc). And you should be skilled enough such that if you decide to use a red-black tree, you can find a good library or implement it yourself - with access to the whole internet as reference material. (And test it).

Nobody expects you to memorise a text book. But if an API gives you a list of items and you want to count the occurrences of each item, you should be able to figure out how to do that. And ideally in less than O(n^2) time if necessary. It’s surprising how many otherwise productive coworkers I’ve had who struggle with stuff like that.
If they take the LLMs advice were they astute or just lucky? You'd have to ask the candidate to go into details to get any signal, and if the algorithm is hard enough for them to have to consult an LLM, they might not be able to do that.
IMO there needs to be personal criminal responsibility for safety related issues in an engineering org like this. We did this in New Zealand a few years back, you can get prosecuted and sent to prison for wilfully ignoring safety issues that cause serious injury or death, and that responsibility exists at every level up to the board.
It isn't. But a better site would let you click the link in the email, and then proceed to ask security questions or identify you in some other way.

I don't generally read nonfiction related to or targeted at start ups/tech/silicon valley/self help kinda stuff.

James Rhodes' (pianist) books 'Instrumental' and 'Fire on All Sides' (both memoirs) are, well, I hesitate to call them 'comfort reads' because they are harrowing. They're comforting in the sense that he brings to light some extremely confronting things (take the content warnings seriously!) and does it with earnestness, a deep desire to educate, a brilliant sense of humour, and despite never having gone through any of the things he has, the books are somehow extremely relatable. His passion for music is contagious as well.

As for general things I keep coming back to? Pretty much everything Bertrand Russell wrote. Mark Fisher, Judith Butler, too. Lots of Ancient Greek chaps, of course. Lots of philosophy.

I do sometimes read 'idiomatic <programming language>' type books for languages I'll probably never use. It's not all that impactful when not actually trying to program in the language but they're usually well written, interesting, and the ideas/philosophies/approaches to programming for the language can be valuable.

Lots of crime doesn't get reported.

The police where I live are transparently useless. Someone tried to steal my car at bart. Even my auto insurance didn't bother asking for a police report while paying out $3k for a repair to the door. Everyone involved understands it's an utter waste of time and not a thing will happen.

For at least n=1, no crime happened.
Kinda hilarious to see gamers buying laptops that can't actually leave the house in any practical meaningful way. I feel like some of them would be better off with SFF PCs and the external monitors they already use. I guess the biggest appeal I've seen is the ability to fold up the gaming laptop and put the dock away to get it off the desk, but then moving to an SFF on the ground plus a wireless gaming keyboard and wireless mouse that they already use with the normal laptop + one of those compact "portable" monitors seems like it'd solve the same problem.
The manufacturer often targets a tdp that is reasonable for thermals and battery life, but the cpu package is often the same.

See my reply to the person that beat you to it:

tl;dr is that Walmart is also selling an Acer for $359 that beats that device on every headline metric.

It's nice to know that I could get the old-gen model for slightly cheaper, but that's still an outrageous price if the MacBook Air isn't to be considered a luxury item.

Thanks for the thought-provoking comment.

It's all grey isn't it? Vanilla RAG is a big step along the spectrum from LLM towards search, DQ is perhaps another small step. I'm no expert in search but I've read that those systems coming from the other direction, perhaps they'll meet in the middle.

There are three "lookups" in a system with DQ: (1) The original top-k chunk extraction (in the minimalist implementation, that's unchanged from vanilla RAG, just a vector embeddings match) (2) the LLM call, which takes its pick from 1, and (3) the call-back deterministic lookup after the LLM has written its answer.

(3) is much more bounded, because it's only working with those top-k, at least for today's context constrained systems.

In any case, another way to think of DQ is a "band-aid" that can sit on top of that, essentially a "UX feature", until the underlying systems improve enough.

I also agree about the importance of chunk-size. It has "non-linear" effects on UX.
You could always mix and match. Do lighter task on device and outsource to cloud if needed
Is that true? Linux is the number one choice for training and inferencing deployment, somebody must be doing something right. It's not like OpenAI was training their LLMs using CoreML, Apple isn't even a contender in the game. They were late to supporting basic industry-standard libraries like Tensorflow and Pytorch, and they still don't commit to an Open, cross-platform alternative.

Apple is the #1 loser from the lack of standardization here, and you're trying to make it out as a Linux problem. Imagine if someone from the industry could hear you talking right now.

The official estimate of software developer positions in the United States was 1,656,880 in 2023.[1] 10% of that would be a high estimate of FAANG software developers in all countries. And most in those companies make less.

It absolutely does not always happen. I was asked to do interviews twice with one employer. Both times, I requested the interviewee's resume. Both times I was refused because they didn't want me to "bias" my interview.

So, yeah, go figure.
Perhaps you're thinking of a different doc, or perhaps it has changed. I went to check it and it's literally 2 pages with 5 headings (all mentioned in this post).

There are some other much better ones in my opinion, and some great internal docs on writing and examples. I wish those were public.

> 100 miles of international border using those systems

Yeah that's not really the point. You use CRAM or CIWS at installations, cities, and maybe even towns. But then you use APS for military vehicles.

You don't need to stop every attack along a border, you just need to protect important installations and population centers.

> You can't point-defend a trenchline

Sure you can't but you can point defend mobile artillery, tanks, and other mechanized infantry. This greatly reduces the actual value you get out of a drone strike. You won't be hitting high value targets without spending a lot of resources in a saturation attack.

> I think the Russians are relying on jammers

They try to and it's not particularly effective.

> So those defensive systems are also exposed to jamming

This is only the case if you communicate by radio. In an active combat environment, if you are setting up installations that may be the best you can do at the time but for regions that are currently at peace, you can absolutely run fiber-optics between the weapons systems, sensor systems, and command center(s), leaving radio comms as a fallback. It's definitely more expensive but if you are installing equipment in a city or permanent military installation, you probably already have access to fiber runs that could be procured as dedicated/dark fiber.

> Anyway, I suspect that drone-antidrone warfare is going to come down to a radio arms-race

That'll definitely be a heavy component of it but the defense side should be able to insulate themselves from the arms race as long as they invest in the infrastructure ahead of time rather than waiting until a hot war starts to protect soft targets.

This is pure speculation, but I'm willing to bet that Iwata wanted the Wii U to be more like the switch, but the board was likely extremely nervous about cannibalizing their portable DS market, so they opted for the Wii U Tablet instead, to disastrous results.
Yes that's two different ways to say the same thing.

With respect to flossing, this shouldn’t have been news either. A systematic review in 2011 concluded that, in adults, toothbrushing with flossing versus toothbrushing alone most likely reduced gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums. But there was really weak evidence that it reduced plaque in the short term. There was no evidence that it reduced cavities. That’s pretty much what we learned recently.

From first principles, it is normal to ban material. The ages and exact policies are debatable but these articles are entirely one-sided.

It appears that most of the handwringing is about politically disagreeing with the bans, not hardships of obeying bans. There are always bans. But they want this material (sexuality, gender, "race theory") available even to pretty young children because of their societal goals/agenda. Others do not want that. Fight.

This recent WSJ article mentions primarily reasons of salary and student behavior, as any layman would guess from first principles. It did mention "political battles over issues such as how race and gender are discussed". Well, this is not going away -- the battle is fought from multiple directions. Another direction is the industry profits from institutions being morally obligated to buy a lot of new diversity-related books.

the average audio book is 10 hours long. let's say reading a book takes 10 hours. then you only need 20 minutes per day to read one book per month. it should not be hard to find that time.

what you say suggests that you have a backlog of non-leisure activities that you feel are more important.

i solved this by making leisure activities more important. call it work-life balance if that helps. leisure is part of a healthy day. i started going for a daily walk for exercise. i considered important for my well being. i watch one tv show per day. and only one. i simply decided that is part of a healthy routine. and i made a list of what i want to watch so i don't waste that hour on random stuff. i still do spend more time on random stuff, eg youtube, but that is a different problem. when i run out of time, i stop wasting time on youtube, but i don't stop that one tv episode. i figure i have earned the break after being busy for a day. i should do the same with listening to audiobooks/stories but i haven't been able to re-establish that routine yet.

A local exterminator does smoke tests for the integrity of the plumbing stack: pump smoke in the outside drain, and see whether it all goes out through the roof vents, or some escapes within a house. That's how they found where rats were getting into our basement--a plumber had removed a vent pipe and had not secured the end.
Bit of a busy day for me so I asked ChatGPT so summarize and explain the author’s position on the Khmer Rouge.

“The text is an interview with Noam Chomsky discussing the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. Chomsky critiques Western media's portrayal of the Khmer Rouge, arguing that it's exaggerated and ignores broader historical context, particularly U.S. involvement. He suggests that atrocities attributed to the Khmer Rouge may have been exaggerated or even fabricated, emphasizing the need for independent investigation. Chomsky's attitude toward the Khmer Rouge appears critical of Western narratives, highlighting skepticism and a call for a more nuanced understanding.”

That’s does not give any truth to your claim of idolizing, as I expected. It’s quite believable that western narratives could be manipulated as that is common place and the subject of Chomsky’s expertise. Pointing out the manipulation of the media and painting the target as more nuanced and not as evil as media makes them out to be is a far cry from idolization.

Well.. yeah when you put that way I see what you mean. No those types of buildings wouldn't be very amenable, I suppose I had assumed we would already exclude those from consideration.

Note that none of the buildings I mentioned are this way (the Wikipedia links have pictures). Although..

Still, an Office Space style building will never be that.
